*The video shows more of The Pillars in Ishgard.
The Pillars area is known as the Last Vigil. Players visit various citadels such as this. For example, Stone Vigil and Dusk Vigil, but as the name implies, this is the final citadel.
In addition to Haurchefant’s House Fortemps, there is also the Holy See. As mentioned during Niconico Chokaigi 2015, the 12 founding knights are also located here.
The Pillars will be the earliest bastion you come across while progressing through the main scenario.
In Heavensward we've enhanced the contrast of shadows, so I believe you will receive quite a different impression than what you've experienced until now. It will also be possible to adjust your character lighting as you please.
